This village in Goa emerges once a year remains underwater

This village in Goa emerges once a year remains underwater

Kurdi, a submerged village in south Goa, emerges once every year, when summer is at its peak and the catchment area of the Selaulim dam nearly dries up.

This year, thanks to unseasonal, but heavy pre-monsoon showers, Kurdi has remained underwater. This has led to cancellation of the Someshwar Maha Utsav, an annual festival held at the Someshwar temple when it surfaces in the summer months of April and May.

The cancellation of the festival has led to disappointment, especially among the former residents of the village, who were relocated by the government, after the construction of the Selaulim dam in whose catchment, the village lies submerged most of the year Gurucharan Kurdikar, a software engineer working in Bangaluru, said that the Maha Utsav had started in the year 2015 with a gathering of few people. It rose to around 6,000 people in the year 2019.

“For last eight years, the displaced villagers are having celebrations at the temple. However, we couldn’t hold it for the last two years because of COVID restrictions and even this year as the temple remains under water,” said another villager.

Some locals had complained that failure of dam
authorities to release water for irrigation, fearing shortage of potable water, had resulted in the temple remaining in knee deep water.

Someshwar temple dedicated to lord Shiva has remained intact despite being submerged for at least ten months in a year. About 630 houses located in this area were rehabilitated to other nearby villages for the construction of a dam which provides water to most parts of Goa. Now the whole area of this village (old Kurdi) remains under water.

The dam was constructed five decades ago. Since then the displaced villagers visit the temple and offer a prayer in April and May when water recedes.
